Doxyfile

Doxyfile is a configuration file used by Doxygen, a documentation generator tool for various programming languages. It is written in a simple, human-readable format and allows users to customize the behavior and output of Doxygen. The Doxyfile contains a series of key-value pairs, where each key represents a specific configuration option and the corresponding value sets the desired setting.

The Doxyfile is typically named "Doxyfile" and is placed in the root directory of the project. Users can generate a default Doxyfile using the Doxygen command-line tool, which can then be modified to suit the project's documentation needs. The Doxyfile can be edited using any text editor, and changes to the file will take effect the next time Doxygen is run.

Some of the key configuration options in the Doxyfile include the input and output directories, the file patterns to include or exclude, the format of the generated documentation, and the appearance of the output. Users can also specify additional options, such as enabling or disabling certain features, setting the project name and version, and configuring the look and feel of the generated documentation.

Once the Doxyfile is configured, users can run Doxygen to generate the documentation. Doxygen will parse the source code files, extract relevant information, and generate the documentation in the specified format. The generated documentation can then be used to provide users with a comprehensive understanding of the project's codebase, including its structure, functionality, and usage.
